I have seen rolls of "double barrel" coax at hamfests.  It has two separate 
parallel inner conductors instead of one. Sort of like shielded twin lead.  
I forget the RG number, but it might be a better bet than twisting two 
coax's together.  Does anyone know if they still make the stuff, and any 
available sources?
